Word origin

The word 'yogurt' originates from the Turkish word 'yoฤŸurt', which means 'to thicken' or 'to condense'. This term reflects the process of fermenting milk with specific bacteria to achieve its characteristic thick texture. Yogurt has been consumed for thousands of years, with early records dating back to at least 5000 BC in Central Asia. It is believed that the practice of fermenting milk into yogurt began as a way to preserve milk and enhance its nutritional value. Over centuries, yogurt became popular in various cultures, with different regions developing their own methods and flavors. In the 20th century, yogurt gained widespread recognition in the West, especially with the rise of the health food movement, which emphasized the benefits of probiotics and dairy products. Today, yogurt is available in numerous forms and varieties, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences around the world.
